The two hearings 10 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: are going on right now, I should say today, not 11 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: right this moment necessarily, but two hearings that were going 12 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: on today on Capitol Hill. One was the Mark Wayne 13 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: Mullen confirmation hearing. I do believe he will be confirmed. 14 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: Senator Ram Paul will be a no vote, as he 15 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,319 Speaker 1: just told us in the last hour. And these two 16 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: guys just don't like each other. That's just where this is. 17 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: There are people who you know, Clay, I mean, some 18 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: people don't like me, which I find unfathomable. But there 19 00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: are people who don't even know me. You don't like me, 20 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: and some people very few people know me don't like me. 21 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,639 Speaker 1: But you know, even. 22 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 2: Clay Travis as as affable a fellow as he is. 23 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 1: I'm sure there are I don't know, some woke sports 24 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:11,559 Speaker 1: writers out there who. 25 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 3: Are lots of them actually hate me. 26 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, just just don't like you, and they say 27 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: mean things about my friend Clay, and then I want 28 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: to fight them. 29 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 2: But you know, it's okay. 30 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 1: People have their disputes, and of course the Senators will 31 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: weigh in on what they think about. 32 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 2: All this with their votes, with their confirmation votes. 33 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: So we put it out there we will have senatorm 34 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: all and on after he assuming he's confirmed, or either 35 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 1: way actually just to get if he wants to. He 36 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: may not come on, by the way. He might say, Look, 37 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: everything that's needed had to be said was said. But 38 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: we're not. We're not taking some position on this other 39 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 1: than letting these two important voices in the Republican Party 40 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: have that discussion. So yeah, we've already reached out to 41 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: his team and so you know he's welcome to come on. Okay, 42 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: A couple of things here. First one is the so 43 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: Tulci Gabbard is testifying on the Hill. I want to 44 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: get to her some of her testimony. D and I 45 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: I don't even think I agree with Tulsa Gabbard necessarily 46 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: on a whole range of foreign policy issues. 47 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: But I do like her as a person. 48 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: I think she's an ethical, good person, and I think 49 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: she's a patriot, so that informs my judgment of her. 50 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: I feel the same way about Joe Ken. I think 51 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: he's a patriot. I think that he is given a 52 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: lot to this country, and I don't really like people 53 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: throwing that to the wayside over a policy dispute on 54 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:27,519 Speaker 1: the right. 55 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 2: So quickly I'm seeing a little bit of that. 56 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: You can say Joe Ken is wrong, you can say 57 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: Joe Ken is crazy for what he's putting forward on 58 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:34,959 Speaker 1: this Iran war. 59 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:35,839 Speaker 2: That's up to you. 60 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: But the guy served, and the guy lost his wife 61 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: who was serving in a ford deployed you know combat, 62 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: you know, combat enabling role. So let's all just maintain 63 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: that level of I think earned respect that the guy has. Again, 64 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 1: you want to trash his resignation or you think it's 65 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: a bad idea, that's fine, But people are saying things like, 66 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not even gonna say what they're saying, 67 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: but they're saying crazy stuff. The guy's not a trader. 68 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: Caroline Levitt spoke about this this is cut nine. Let's 69 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: hear what she had to say about the Joe Kent 70 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: resignation from NCTC director. 71 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 4: He said he always thought Joe Kent was a good guy. 72 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 4: Obviously has a commendable military record and experience. However, he 73 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 4: was not someone who was involved in the Presidential daily 74 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 4: brief part of the president's intelligence briefings over the last 75 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 4: several months. Have not seen him here at the White 76 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 4: House for quite some time, and the President feels it's 77 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 4: deeply disappointing that after the President gave him an opportunity 78 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 4: in this administration to serve the American people, that he 79 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 4: would resign it with a letter filled with falsehoods accusing 80 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 4: the President of the United States by being controlled by 81 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 4: a foreign country. That's both insulting and laughable all at 82 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 4: the same time. The president is the leader of the 83 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 4: most powerful country and military in the world. Nobody tells 84 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 4: him what to do. 85 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: Now, this is basically Clay what we were saying. I mean, 86 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: I even said this, I'm like, no one tells Trump 87 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: what to do. I said that yesterday. No one puts 88 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: baby in a corner, no one tells Trump what to do. 89 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: But the way that this was handled by Carolin Levitt 90 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: here from the White House. I think this is totally, 91 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: totally within bounds, totally on point, which is he's a 92 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: good guy. I think he loves America. He's over his 93 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: skis on this one. It's a shame he didn't do 94 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: more with the role. And you know, people are allowed 95 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: to disagree. This is America. You know, nothing nasty or personal, 96 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: but saying he's off on this one, and you know 97 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: that's that. 98 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 5: This is why we played the audio from the nineteen 99 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 5: eighties yesterday because I think there are a lot of 100 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 5: things you can say about President Trump. If you disagree 101 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 5: with him, he's at the behest of anyone, or they 102 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 5: can bully him into doing anything. 103 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 1: I think is completely and utterly untrue. The idea that 104 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: there's anyone who could bully President Trump. I don't think 105 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: there's anyone on the planet who could bully President Trump 106 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: into anything that he. 107 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 5: Didn't otherwise want to do, right. Can you, which is 108 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 5: the job of the president. Can you sit down in 109 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,799 Speaker 5: front of President Trump and say, hey, this is why 110 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 5: we believe we need to strike Iran, or why the 111 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,239 Speaker 5: Venezuela decision makes sense. But you've been in these rooms 112 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 5: you briefed the president. We really want the president to 113 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 5: get a wide variety of perspectives so that he can hear, marinate, 114 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 5: think about different arguments, and then he's the ultimate decider. 115 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 5: And you, I'm sure have seen a lot of times 116 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 5: when people in positions of power have been pitched on 117 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 5: two divergent perspectives. 118 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 3: I'm not a big fan personally. 119 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 5: This is just me of, Hey, I disagree with something 120 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 5: someone did, so I'm going to go public and everybody 121 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 5: needs to know that I disagree. That's my personal opinion. 122 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 5: Like if we work for iHeart, if I Heart made 123 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,239 Speaker 5: a decision one day that I disagreed with, I wouldn't 124 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 5: come on the radio and be like, I can no 125 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 5: longer work here. 126 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 3: I would make my pitch. Other people make decisions. I 127 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 3: don't fro the. 128 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: If all of our radio stations invaded Greenland simultaneously and 129 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: we thought there was like a human rights issue, it 130 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 1: might be a little different. 131 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 5: But yes, And also, by the way, some people out 132 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:15,239 Speaker 5: there are like, oh, you know, I don't really buy 133 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 5: that anybody inside of the Trump team can be bought 134 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 5: and paid for anyone. I'm one hundred percent certain that 135 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 5: Trump is not bought and paid for by Israel, which 136 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 5: is actually insulting to Trump, to me to argue that 137 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 5: a foreign country could bully or buy and pay him 138 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 5: into doing anything. 139 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 2: But I think that this and that's I appreciated. 140 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: You know, Carolin Levit's obviously excellent at her job, and 141 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: she's speaking on behalf of the White House. But I 142 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: think she's really summarizing very well what Trump's feelings about 143 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: this are, which is Joe Kent, good guy. Thought he'd 144 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: be a good member of the team. He loves his country, 145 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 1: and he's a brave dude, and I respect that. On 146 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: this he's gone a little whack of do and it's 147 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: good that he's leaving. Are that he didn't find a 148 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: way to operate better within the team, I think he's wrong, 149 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: But it's not this is a person that everybody should like, 150 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: malign and think ill of going forward. It's this is 151 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: a departure, you know, to your point, Clay, Look, he 152 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: believed he didn't he was a post to the Iran War. 153 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: He was somebody who didn't want intervention in Iran. He's 154 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: a non interventionist and he's a guy who has been 155 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: out there getting shot at during the intervention. So you know, 156 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: I think he's allowed to very much allowed to have 157 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: his opinion and have his opinion heard on this. He 158 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: didn't change his mind or something on this last minute. 159 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: He's not a fit for where the administration isn't this. 160 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: I actually think people resigning and saying this is why 161 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: I'm resigning is a good thing instead of if the 162 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: alternative is remember Trump term one. There are these people 163 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: like the guy who wrote that, like Resistance editorial, I'm 164 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:51,239 Speaker 1: staying in the machine to thwart Trump. But no, that's wrong. 165 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: You should not be doing that. I just I think 166 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: the part of this that has rubbed some people very 167 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: much the wrong way is the some of the insinuation 168 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: about the reasons for Trump doing this as it pertains 169 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: to Israel and the Israeli lobby in this country, and 170 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: people are very sensitive about that. 171 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 2: That's just the truth. 172 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: People get very sensitive about that because there's some really 173 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: crazy stuff that people say around those lines too. But 174 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: I think that the way the White House has handled 175 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: this is, at least from this statement from Caroline Levitt, 176 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: totally respectful and within bounds. It's a slapdown on the issue, 177 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: but it's not a slapdown of the man. Joe Kent's 178 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: not a bad guy, He's wrong on this. 179 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 5: Do you see the posts that I mean, first of all, 180 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 5: there's a very anti Israel element that is active online 181 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 5: that isn't actually very representative of the nation as a whole. 182 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,559 Speaker 5: But there are a lot of people who will say, oh, 183 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 5: you're I mean, because they'll say President Trump is corrupted. 184 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 5: Do you see in the comments anytime anybody says anything 185 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 5: positive about Israel, They're like, you got paid seven thousand 186 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 5: dollars for this tweet? 187 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,239 Speaker 3: Have you seen this? Like that's like echoing everywhere. 188 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, they definitely don't know how much you sold out 189 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: kick for because seven isn't getting I'm telling you're just. 190 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 5: Gonna say I wouldn't do anything for seven grand, much 191 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 5: less sell an opinion for seven grand. I mean, some 192 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 5: of this stuff is just the conspiracy theories out there 193 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 5: are crazy and again it's really wild. I think historically, 194 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 5: when we write about this, the fact that a lot 195 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 5: of people decided after October seventh that somehow Israel was 196 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 5: the instigator and the bad guy of everything that has 197 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 5: happened since, I think it's just a total bastardization of 198 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 5: what has truly occurred, and also a function that is 199 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 5: misreading what actually has occurred, which is Hamas thought that 200 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 5: they were going to be able to severely disable Israel 201 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 5: in many ways. Instead, buck think about this, Hamas, the 202 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 5: houtis Hesbola, now the Iranian, the Ayatola himself, every one 203 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 5: of Israel's terroristic foes has been decapitated, almost on a 204 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 5: literal level as a result of the October seventh attacks. 205 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 5: Israel is in a stronger position than it's ever been before, 206 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 5: I think. 207 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: And Saudi Gulf states are more friendly toward Israeli security 208 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: and a better future for the region than they ever 209 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: have been before. Major Sunni Arab countries, most notably Saudi Arabia, 210 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: but other Sunni Arab allies in the region are The 211 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: craziest part of this is, or maybe you know, the 212 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: most ironic part of it is that hamas is horrific 213 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: nine to eleven style terror attack could end up resulting 214 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: in the most pacified Middle East. Yes, we have seen 215 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 1: in our lifetime. Now that's a could, that's not is yet. 216 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: We're obviously still bombing Iran, but you look at what's 217 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: gone on with the enemies of Yes, the enemies of Israel. 218 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 2: But notice the enemies of Israel. 219 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: It's not like Israel has beef with Hesbelah and America's like, 220 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: you know who, We really like Hezbolah because we remember 221 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: the Marine Beyroot bombings, you know, the Marine Barracks bombings 222 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: in Beirut. 223 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 2: We remember what. 224 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: Hesbela has been doing in the region, in Syria and 225 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: around the world. Like, it's not like Israel's enemies are 226 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: are groups that we go man, They're doing a lot 227 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 1: of nice charity work. And why is Israel so harsh 228 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: on them? There are enemies too, Yeah, and they would 229 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: kill us just as quickly as they would kill Israeli's 230 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 1: I mean, that is just an observation of reality. 231 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 2: So I wanted to get into some of the Islamist threats. 232 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 3: Can we get it? 233 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: Let's hold it because I want to come back. Cut six. 234 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 1: You see their clay Geez Tulci Gabbard again, I like, 235 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: you know, and I tell you I like Tulci, I 236 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: like Jokta's people, So you know, take that for what 237 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 1: it is. Tulsi Gabbert going after the spread of Islamism. 238 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: Let's play when we come back in a second, because 239 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: I think people should hear that this is still a 240 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: real concern or real problem, and something that we should 241 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: think of as a top national security issue to be tackled. 242 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 3: No doubt, we'll play that for you when we come back. 243 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,559 Speaker 5: Cut six. Get it ready, boys and girls. But in 244 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 5: the meantime, Buck may not know it.

If I'm not mistaken, listen. 284 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 6: The spread of Islamist's ideology, in some cases led by 285 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 6: individuals and organizations associated with the Muslim Brotherhood, poses a 286 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 6: fundamental threat to freedom and the foundational principles that underpin 287 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 6: Western civilization. Isamis groups and individuals use this ideology for 288 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 6: recruiting and financial support for terrorist groups and individuals around 289 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 6: the world, and to advance their political objectives of establishing 290 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 6: an Islamist caliphate which governs based on Sharia. They're increasing 291 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 6: examples of this in various European countries. In President Trump's 292 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:45,239 Speaker 6: designation of certain Muslim Brotherhood chapters as foreign terrorist organizations 293 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 6: is a mechanism to secure Americans against this threat. In 294 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 6: response to setbacks to their capabilities of conducting large scale, 295 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 6: complex attacks, Islamist terrorist groups have shifted toward focusing on 296 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 6: executing information operations to spread propag an, inspire, or enable 297 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 6: individuals located in or with access to the West. 298 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 5: So still a problem yes, and again what I would say, 299 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 5: if you want to be optimistic about things, we were 300 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 5: just talking about the continued fallout of October seven, twenty 301 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 5: twenty three. As we come up on what two and 302 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 5: a half years basically since that terror attack, I'm not 303 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 5: sure that we have ever had a potential for a 304 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 5: more secure and more stable Middle East in any of 305 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 5: our lives than where we are right now. 306 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 3: Now. That doesn't mean that there may not be a 307 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 3: great deal of tumult for the rest of March, for 308 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 3: the rest of April and May. 309 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 5: But I do think if you get the Abraham Accord 310 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 5: signed on to by Saudi Arabia and they normalize relations 311 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 5: with Israel, the call the guest we had on yesterday, 312 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 5: I think is so important. Psychologically, Iran has been left behind. 313 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 5: Iran has been completely and totally left behind by its 314 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 5: peer groups. In fact, a lot of countries that were 315 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 5: beneath Iran in terms of economics, and that's embarrassing and 316 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 5: somewhat humiliating to many people who live in Iran. And 317 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 5: so it's one thing if the United States is wealthier, 318 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 5: or if even if Israel is wealthier, but when Saudi 319 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 5: Arabia is wealthier, when Qatar is wealthier, when the UAE 320 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 5: is wealthier, that's a form of failure and falling behind 321 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,119 Speaker 5: your peer countries. 322 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 3: And I do think that that is. 323 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 5: Going to in many ways motivate a long term positive response. Now, 324 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 5: what we just talked about is how long does President 325 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 5: Trump want to be bombing Iran? How many of these 326 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 5: guys are going to be taken out? Israel seems to 327 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 5: have buck a stronger predisposition towards changing regime than the 328 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 5: President does and the United States does, which is why 329 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 5: most of the strikes that you're seeing from the United 330 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 5: States have to do with military infrastructure from and at 331 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 5: this point, most of the strikes from Israel have to 332 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 5: do with checking leadership off the board, taking people out. 333 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 5: And I do think that is a reconciliation that is 334 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 5: going to have to be determined at some point in time. 335 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 5: President Trump wants this to be over, I think earlier 336 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 5: than Israel would prefer. 337 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: I also think that even if it isn't a different 338 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: regime in place when this is all over, at least 339 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 1: this phase is over, there will be going forward in 340 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: any negotiation. Don't play games with us, guys, Yeah, don't 341 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: play games. Don't don't think you're going to do anything 342 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,360 Speaker 1: and get away with it. At least under this president, 343 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: you are not going to get away with it, and 344 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 1: you will pay a terrible price for any nonsense. There 345 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 1: is advantage in that, there is value in that concept, 346 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 1: and Trump knows that. 347 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 2: All right. 348 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: Very reliable cell phone for a cell phone service at 349 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 1: the most reasonable price.

Same thing California. 390 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: California's got so many taxes, all kinds of problems. Kathy Hochel, 391 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: who is honestly somebody that you wouldn't want in charge 392 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: of the bakes sale for the PTA, not even the PTA. 393 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: You wouldn't want her running the bake sale to raise money, 394 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 1: like you would not want this woman in charge of 395 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: anything of any consequence whatsoever. She'd be burning the zucchini bread, 396 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: There's no question about it. And here she is telling 397 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: people that they need to move back to New York. 398 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: Wealthy people need to move back to New York so 399 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,400 Speaker 1: they can fund welfare programs in New York. 400 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 2: Play eight. 401 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 7: There's this anxiety which is real. And we're continuing to 402 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 7: address the affordability crisis, which I believe she'd be the 403 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 7: number one priority of this legislative session. What can we 404 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 7: do to take off some of that pain that New 405 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 7: Yorkers are feeling that I hear about literally every day. 406 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 7: What I want to make sure we are smart about 407 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 7: is having a system in place where it's not just 408 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 7: taxing for the sake of taxing, and being conscious of 409 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 7: the facts that I need people who are high net 410 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 7: worth to support the generous social programs that we want 411 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 7: to have in our state. Right now, there are some 412 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:05,479 Speaker 7: patriotic millionaires who stepped up. Okay, cut me the checks. 413 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 7: I mean, just if you want to be supportive, but 414 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 7: maybe the first step should be go down to Palm 415 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 7: Beach and see what you can bring back home. 416 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: I mean, she's saying Florida, Florida, has stolen her cash 417 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: cows and a lot of them are in Pombe's why 418 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: they are here in Miami Beach. 419 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 2: Let me tell you. 420 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: I got neighbors and they're in del Rey, and they're 421 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 1: in Boca Hey, a lot of places around here and Clay. 422 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 2: This is really I appreciate this. 423 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,120 Speaker 1: She is so unsophisticated in so many ways that she's 424 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 1: just saying the truth here, which is New York or 425 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,919 Speaker 1: former New Yorkers, please move back to New York so 426 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: you can be milked like the. 427 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 2: Cows you are for the welfare state. That is her case. 428 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 5: And so we've told you this and it is going 429 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 5: too long. RANGE mean that states like Tennessee, Florida Texas. 430 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 5: Zero state income tax states are going to be far 431 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 5: more effective and well run than super high income tax 432 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 5: states that are losing. As you just heard Kathy Hokel say, 433 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 5: a lot of the base that has paid for all 434 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 5: of the government to exist. What was the data point 435 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 5: you gave us, Buck that New York I think has 436 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 5: a little bit fewer people now than Florida. Right, But 437 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 5: Florida's government is half the size of New York's. 438 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: Well, Florida's budget is half the size of New York's budget, 439 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: and Florida has two to three million more residents as 440 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 1: a state three million. By the way, there are a 441 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 1: lot of states that barely have two or three million residents. 442 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,360 Speaker 5: And as a general rule, how would you say, as 443 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,719 Speaker 5: a Florida resident that the Florida budget and the governance 444 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 5: is at running the money that they get, at basically 445 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 5: managing the taxpayer dollars. 446 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: Everything that involves the State of Florida is more efficient, 447 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: more reasonable, more saying compared to New York state level governance. Everything, 448 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: everything is easier, everything is smoother, everything makes more sense. Miami, 449 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: things get a little third world down here, But state 450 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: of Florida fantastic. 451 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,919 Speaker 5: Okay, so, but building on that, you mentioned this stat 452 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 5: earlier and I saw it in my jaw dropped. It's 453 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 5: rare that I see a stat and I'm like, oh my, 454 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,679 Speaker 5: I can't believe this is real. New York is at 455 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 5: New York City is spending more money than the average 456 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 5: New Yorker makes on homeless people. 457 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 3: What is this math? Buck? 458 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 5: Eighty one thousand dollars a year, I believe was the 459 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 5: Uh so, all of you out there, you worked a 460 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 5: long time when not making eighty one thousand dollars a year, Buck, 461 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 5: I worked a long time not making eighty one thousand dollars. 462 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: Ye aspired to eighty one thousand. I was like, oh 463 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: my gosh, think about life at eighty k. Yes, this 464 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:46,880 Speaker 1: is true. 465 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 5: A lot of you out there are aspiring to life 466 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 5: at eighty k. 467 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 3: Right. 468 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 5: That's a lot of money. That is what New York 469 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 5: is spending on homeless people. And you made this analogy earlier. 470 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 5: How many of you out there listening to us right 471 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 5: now in New York are busting your asses all day 472 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 5: long and you're not making eighty one k and you're 473 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 5: looking around and you're saying, wait a minute, what is 474 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 5: the state doing that they're providing eighty one k a 475 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 5: year in support for homeless people. This is just so 476 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 5: flagrantly flawed. I mean, it's it would be better off, 477 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,159 Speaker 5: and this would be an awful idea. But if the 478 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 5: entire government just got out of the way and they 479 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 5: just gave eighty seventy eight thousand dollars in cash, you 480 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 5: would save money if you just walked up and gave 481 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 5: seventy eight thousand dollars in cash to every homeless person. 482 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 1: I also, by the way, there's nothing there's nothing inherently 483 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,199 Speaker 1: derogatory about the term homeless. Yeah, people clearly don't have homes. 484 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 1: This whole thing about unsheltered. Now noun housed is race 485 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,479 Speaker 1: to un sheltered, is the other the same thing. No, 486 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, we're not doing this, Okay. The reason they're 487 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:03,479 Speaker 1: doing this is because homeless homelessness and homeless realities across 488 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 1: this country. 489 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 2: People have learned more about this. 490 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 1: They've started to understand that almost all of the homeless, 491 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: the truly homeless population, almost all have either extreme substance 492 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: abuse or extreme mental health, or a combination of both 493 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:23,360 Speaker 1: issues and disorders. The stories that you hear about a 494 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: family of four kicked out of their home, down on 495 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: their luck. 496 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 2: That can happen. It does happen. I get it. 497 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: It is rare, and they don't stay homeless because there 498 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 1: are programs and there are you know this notion thankfull, 499 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,360 Speaker 1: I mean, but there are things to help people get 500 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,640 Speaker 1: back on their feet, and they tend to do so. 501 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: The real homelessness issue is people with severe mental health 502 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: and severe addiction issues. Overwhelmingly, so the stories about someone 503 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,640 Speaker 1: lost their job, they're down on their luck one percent 504 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 1: of the unhoused or homeless population at any point in 505 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: time five percent. Maybe I think that might be too much. 506 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,640 Speaker 1: It's people with those problems. Now, those are human beings 507 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: who deserve help too. I'm not saying otherwise. My point though, 508 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 1: is they're changing the definition truly, or they're changing the 509 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 1: terms we use of homeless because they don't want people 510 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: to think about the discussions about Like Gavin Newsom said 511 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: he's gonna lower homelessness, that was the term he was 512 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: using in California over a ten year period, it's like doubled. 513 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, So they're changing the words. So it's like a 514 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 2: new problem now, right, It's. 515 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 1: Like, oh, well, we're not dealing with the homelessness thing 516 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,919 Speaker 1: Clay because we completely failed. Now we're dealing with the 517 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 1: unhoused population. And here's the other thing. Eighty one thousand. 518 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,919 Speaker 1: This is from the Comptroller of New York. This is 519 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,640 Speaker 1: you know, right wing angry blogger dot net or something. 520 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: This is from the Controller of New York. Eighty one 521 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year per homeless person in New York. 522 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 2: Well, why are we spending I mean, think about should we. 523 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 3: Just give a check? 524 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: Should we give a check for half of that forty 525 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 1: grand in cash to every homeless person one time payment? 526 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 1: There you go some it'll actually cut half of the 527 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 1: expenditures to your point. 528 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 3: And you know what's a big part of this. 529 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,919 Speaker 5: There are a lot of people who are doing nothing 530 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 5: to actually help homelessness that are being paid a lot 531 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 5: of money. Inside of that eighty one downs solid where 532 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 5: you get this is the ugly true. This is the 533 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 5: ugliness of it. Okay, we're seeing this, my friends. Some 534 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,919 Speaker 5: people are gonna really start to pull these dots together. 535 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 5: I also think this is part of why Elon, just 536 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 5: with the whole doge thing, had kind of a like 537 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 5: a thermonuclear meltdown of there's just so much fraud and 538 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 5: so much waste and so much crap that it was 539 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 5: nobody thinks it, unlike in a business where you would 540 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 5: have as somebody look at it and say, we can't 541 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:38,120 Speaker 5: run a business like that. 542 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 3: We need that for our country and for our government. 543 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: I think Elon was truly just overwhelmed by the scale 544 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: of this and in his you know, his brain is 545 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 1: able to tackle these things at scale, and he's just like, 546 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: this is completely this monster is one hundred times larger 547 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 1: than I even realize. 548 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 2: Anyway. 549 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: A big part of this, notice Clay, the uh autistic 550 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: like an autistic kids pros, the child daycare Somali. I'm talking, 551 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: look at the autistic kids thing, and that's in California. 552 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: I think they've started to looking at the spending on 553 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: these programs has gone absolutely stratospheric in recent years. 554 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:15,719 Speaker 2: This is fraud, my friends. 555 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 1: People are being paid a lot of money to do 556 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: nothing of public benefit, and they're getting taxpayer dollars to 557 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: do this. And you know why the Democrats keep this going. 558 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: It's a giant cash cow for their constituents. What do 559 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,919 Speaker 1: you think if you walk into some city funded homelessness 560 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 1: program in New York, what do you think the voting 561 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,639 Speaker 1: record are the people that are getting checks from the 562 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,640 Speaker 1: city to run the program. What do you think of voute? 563 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: I bet it's ninety five ninety nine percent Democrat. It's 564 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 1: just like the public school systems have become now clay. 565 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: This is about vote harvesting, this is about donations. This 566 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: is power for the Democrat Party. There is a homeless 567 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 1: industrial complex now essentially of all these NGOs and bureaucrats 568 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: getting paid to not actually fix the problem. 569 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 5: And this is also ties in with the healthcare system 570 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 5: being broken. There was a Wall Street Journal editorial saying 571 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 5: ninety nine percent of one state. I think it was 572 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 5: Ohio of the fraud analysis, it was all fraud ninety 573 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 5: nine percent. I also think, again this goes to healthcare. 574 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 5: Nobody knows what it costs. The government funds a ton 575 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 5: of it, doesn't look at spending. There are people being 576 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 5: paid six hundred dollars an hour to do autistic rehab 577 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 5: that didn't actually have any kids with autism. I also 578 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 5: think this ties in with an interesting question. We keep 579 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 5: talking about how the number of kids with autism has skyrocketed. 580 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 3: That's certainly true. 581 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 5: How much of the autism diagnosises that we are seeing 582 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 5: are completely made up and a function of being able 583 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 5: to make money at four or five and six hundred 584 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 5: dollars to do autism therapy. 585 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 3: I mean some of these companies. 586 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 5: You saw what happened in Minnesota, but I think the 587 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 5: same thing is happening in California. These companies don't even 588 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 5: have a physical location. They have a PO box and 589 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 5: they're getting paid millions of dollars a year. They're not 590 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 5: even pretending, just like you saw with the Somali Da 591 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 5: Daycares thing, remember Buck, It is interesting. No one has 592 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 5: come out that I've seen and said, hey, my family 593 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 5: lost daycare. Leave aside whether you think the government should 594 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 5: be involved in Smali daycares at all. If they were 595 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 5: actually doing Somali daycare, wouldn't tons of people have come 596 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 5: out and said, oh my goodness, the kids daycare. 597 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 3: I can't go, I can't. 598 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 5: Go to I haven't seen anything about this. This was 599 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 5: all a sham, and it's a function of government not 600 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 5: being well run enough for people to notice where all 601 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 5: the money is going. It's just it's infuriating for anybody 602 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 5: out there that pays taxes. 603 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 3: It really is. 604 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 1: It's it's astonishing and what you realize is that and 605 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: this is a This is a pretty stark realization, but 606 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: it's true. We think about fixing this. Not only are 607 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: Democrats unwilling to fix it, they don't want it to 608 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: be fixed. Yes, they believe that this is a redistribution 609 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 1: of wealth to people who should get the money they want. 610 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: Homeless administrators on the city, you know, getting getting their 611 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 1: budget paid for by the city, by the taxpayers they 612 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: want them make in three four six hundred grand. 613 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 5: To know how crazy it is that New York is 614 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 5: spending more money, more than eighty one thousand dollars. 615 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 3: A year for every homeless person. I mean, it should be. 616 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 1: Infuriating every average household New York City, people who are working, 617 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: people who are showing up. 618 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 2: And we've all been there. 619 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 1: I have showed up to jobs on mornings where I 620 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,719 Speaker 1: hated so much I thought I was going to throw up. 621 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 2: I mean, just like I'm not making any money. This sucks. 622 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 1: We've all been But you show up and you suck 623 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 1: it up, and you do it. You do it for 624 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: your family, you do it for you know, the people 625 00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 1: around you who are counting on you. A eighty gran 626 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 1: going to every you know, spend for every individual homeless person. 627 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 2: What are they doing? 628 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, where's all the money? Think about this, How 629 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 1: can that be possible? Where's all the money going? We 630 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 1: know what it is in the public school system. The 631 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: public school system in New York pays more than most 632 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 1: private schools cost across the country per pupil. You know 633 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 1: where the money goes. Bloated administrators making one hundred and 634 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 1: fifty grand to show up, sit at a desk, do 635 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 1: nothing all day. There are tens of thousands of them. 636 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 5: And it's crazy how many people syste don't teach, don't 637 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 5: do and don't do anything and are just administrators. 638 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 1: It goes to vice principles of a district as a 639 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 1: vice principal what like, you know, in case someone needs 640 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 1: to step in for the principle, like vice principles and 641 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 1: vice chancellors and all this stuff. We're making two three 642 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: hundred grand to be working for the public school system 643 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 1: of New York or New Jersey or any of these states. 644 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 1: Oh and you can retire after twenty years and you 645 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 1: get all your benefits and everything paid for. I mean friends, 646 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 1: By the way, this is also where all your city 647 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 1: taxes and state taxes are going as well. And you 648 00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 1: know what the game is at the end of all 649 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 1: this play federal bailout. It's coming. You get a gay 650 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: of a Newsom administration. What do you think he's gonna 651 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: leave California high and dry with its budget deficit? Oh 652 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 1: no more. 653 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,239 Speaker 5: That's a good point because thankfully most states have to 654 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 5: have balanced budgets, but a lot of cities have ended 655 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 5: up going bankrupt, and again the federal government doesn't. So 656 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,479 Speaker 5: the to Buck's point, the bailout goes on the books 657 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 5: of the federal government. I saw today we hit thirty 658 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 5: nine trillion national debt. That the number today now is 659 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 5: thirty nine trillion. And what percentage of that money do 660 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 5: you think has been well spent? 661 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 3: Again? 662 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 5: Much we could strip seventy five percent of all government 663 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 5: and be better off.
